Got a call from this number on my day off for the Bank holiday and it really threw me off, now I'm feeling stressed.

This number rang me up claiming there was something wrong with my bank account, but it was clear it was just a scam.

Complete waste of time, that call.

Could tell straight away this was one of those dodgy, annoying calls that might be risky. Just ignored it and ended the call quick.

Even though my number is ex-directory and I'm on the Telephone Preference Service list, I was startled awake at 4.44am by an automated call. A recorded message, no less! It's incredibly frustrating to be disturbed like that in the middle of the night. There ought to be a proper system in place to hold these companies accountable for such intrusive behaviour.

I got a call from this number and honestly, I have things I wanna say about them, but if I let it all out, I’m pretty sure I’d get banned from the internet forever, maybe even beyond that.

Got a call at 1:54 in the morning and it jolted us awake. With my old folks at home, I was honestly scared something bad happened.

I received a pre-recorded message concerning a refund for a bank charge. The background noise suggested a busy call centre. I can't help but wonder how they obtained my phone number, especially since it's listed with the Telephone Preference Service. Are the regulators ever going to take action against these bothersome callers?

I received a call from this number around 1 in the afternoon. It’s got me quite anxious, to be honest. I’ve got this sinking feeling they'll ring me again later tonight. In my experience, a phone ringing at that hour typically signals something unpleasant.

Today at 10:08 I got a call from this number, and honestly it shook me up a lot. Like a few other people said, my granddaughter is very unwell right now, so when I saw the number, my heart was racing before I even answered.

Got back home to a voicemail left at 2.09pm while we were gone. The message said something about a bank fee I supposedly paid, and for a refund within eight weeks press 5. Then it added if you've already claimed press 9. The message was really chopped up, just like I heard it. Since I’ve read not to press 9 on unexpected calls, we just ignored it and deleted.

Got a call around 1 in the afternoon from a recorded voice saying I had some sort of refund for bank fees. Thing is, I don’t get charged any bank fees, so I just cut it off halfway through the message. I’m on the telephone preference service list as well - though it doesn’t seem to make any difference!
Telephone Preference Service

Absolute scam call! They rang me about refunding fees on a current account I don't even have. Plus, they had the cheek to call me at 3am last week - totally unwanted and just plain harassment. This is seriously not on, BT or Ombudsman need to sort this out. Hoping these complaints get sent to the right people quickly.

Well, lucky me it was only on my home phone this time, around 11 in the morning. But it was still pretty irritating especially since I had an elderly family member in hospital then. I can imagine how scary it might be if this happened late at night. I just ended the call straight away. I get loads of these calls and when it’s someone real on the other end I tell them where to shove it, and if it’s a recorded voice I just hang up. Honestly, I wish there was an easy fix to stop all these nuisance calls.

Today, Thursday, 2nd July, at approximately 10:10 AM, I received a call from this number. The chap on the line seemed rather courteous, speaking with a well-articulated English accent. However, as soon as I realised it was just a pre-recorded message, I swiftly hung up and dialled 1471 to identify the source. The number that popped up was the same. I'm constantly bombarded by such calls, and it makes one want to unleash a tirade of language that would certainly not pass muster before the beeb’s watershed! Of course, given the strict regulations on electronic communication, one must hold their tongue. (A little nod to Moriarty's Police Law 21st edition - not much space in that tome, yet I still managed to earn a few marks in the Sergeant's exam! I've also registered with the Telephone Preference Service for both my landline and mobile. My bank has stopped pestering me, so why on earth do these calls keep coming through? Don’t be deceived by their charm!

It's high time someone put a halt to these sorts of individuals. They're clearly up to no good, trying to reel in unsuspecting folks. Heaven only knows what could transpire if you were to hit 5 or 9, which I wisely avoided. By the way, that certainly isn't a Welsh accent!

Got a call on my landline super early, like at 4.14 in the morning. Honestly, who calls at that time? Similar to what Jay mentioned back on 29th June, they talked something about maybe getting compensation from your bank and told me to press 5 or 9 for more info. It really spooked me and I couldn’t fall back asleep after that.

At 10:54 this morning, I got a call from 08446480169. I’m pretty sure it was one of those bank refund scams. I’ve got call blocking set up with TalkTalk, so I don’t see how this got through. It’s so frustrating that these scammers still manage to ring us up - why don’t authorities do something to stop them?

Once again, these absolute daft muppets have been pestering me like they do to loads of folks. I signed up to block their so-called "nuisance" calls but it's pointless and rubbish. Someone else mentioned it too - imagine if we all got the MD's personal number and gave them a ring non-stop. Now that would be justice served, wouldn't it?
11 years
Roused at the unearthly hour of 5.12 am, and my heart sank, worried it was a family crisis. Given I’m on the Telephone Preference Service register, being interrupted in the dead of night by a pre-recorded marketing call-complete with a bloke speaking in a Welsh lilt claiming I was entitled to a refund-was incredibly aggravating. To add to my frustration, I found it impossible to drift back to sleep for quite some time after that. I’ve lodged a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office [https://ico.org.uk/concerns/marketing/31/], and I urge others to follow suit!

Got a call in the middle of the night, like 2.47am or something. I picked up, worried something terrible was going on. Instead, it was some voicemail about a claim? These telemarketer calls are bad enough when it's daylight! Now I’m wide awake. Can’t they just stop this madness?

Indeed, I received a rather unwelcome call from this number on the 30th of June, 2015, at the quite absurd hour of 4:15 in the morning. Quite naturally, I’ve flagged it with my telecom provider as an unsolicited nuisance. The folks behind the number 08446480169 are undoubtedly flouting the law, given that my number is registered with the Telephone Preference Service. One can only assume that calling at such indecent hours suggests they're possibly operating from overseas. Regardless, their antics are absolutely intolerable, and I wish them nothing but the worst!

Just like a few others here, I got a call from this lot really late, right when I was in bed, wondering if my old mum had fallen ill once more. I was already picturing how I'd manage to get her to A&E quick enough. Honestly, don't these people have any feelings at all?? I've signed up with the TPS now, hoping it might put an end to their calls - got another one from them literally a few minutes back.

At precisely 3:52 a.m. on the 30th of June, 2015, my mother received a phone call that sent her into a complete frenzy. In her rush to answer it, she tumbled down the staircase from top to bottom, which was absolutely dreadful. She's now sporting some serious bruises on her back and is understandably quite shaken. The pain has been so intense that a trip to the doctor was a necessity. I am utterly livid about the whole situation!

Got a ring in the early hours, like 1.30 in the morning, and just like others mentioned, I thought something was wrong with a relative. Then they called back at about 3.55 in the afternoon, but it just went to voicemail with no messages left. Seriously, stop with these calls!

So, at about 7.10 Tuesday morning, while I was having my brekkie, I got a call from these lot. I decided to check who it was by dialling 1471, then rang the number back. Instead of a person, I just got a recorded message warning me it was a marketing company and they might ring again. Reading through the other comments, it’s clear these calls are proper annoying. Honestly, I wish I could get hold of the MD’s personal number, share it online, and give them a taste of their own medicine with calls in the middle of the night!

I've already mentioned this earlier, but just to reiterate - at 5.12 this morning, I received a recorded message from someone speaking with a Welsh accent.

Received a call today, 30th June, which was merely a pre-recorded message regarding PPI. It’s absolutely imperative that these persistent nuisance calls are prohibited from dialling UK landlines.

Had a jarring wake-up call at 5:12 in the morning-I've promptly flagged it to the ICO. It seems likely this number is a redirect from some other service. Honestly, telecom providers ought to take stronger measures to prevent these nuisances from occurring in the first place by refusing to associate with such operations. Once we’ve already had our mornings disrupted, it’s a bit late to expect any remedy, even if the ICO eventually pinpoints those responsible, assuming they’re within reach of the law.

On 30/6/15 at 8.44 in the morning I got a message from a robot bloke saying "press 9 if you want to claim" before hanging up. These fraudsters are definitely cleverer nowadays, trying to trick us into thinking a real person was ringing. I’ve worked in a call centre, so I know we haven’t made any claims or plan to, plus cold calls don’t usually start before 9am. Nice try, but you’re not catching me out.

I received a call from this number at just gone 10.55 in the evening! They didn’t bother to leave any message at all. Quite frustrating, really!

Received a call at precisely 14:40 on the 29th of June, 2015, from the number listed. Oddly enough, there was no message left by the callers. We allowed the line to remain open until they eventually hung up.
